All is going well. Only 6 weeks to go! I had my doctor's appointment on Monday. Her heartbeat was high as usual (high 150's to 160) and the midwife said she was "a hyper little girl." Some days she is more "hyper" than others. I think it was Sunday that she was jumping around all day.
I asked the midwife if she could tell from measuring me (which she does at every appointment) and pushing around on my stomach, about how big she is. She says she's normal/on-track and probably weighs around 4 lbs. or so. Each week that goes by I worry less about her coming early because, at this point, even if she came right now, she would be okay. Her lungs are developed and she would just be a little small if she came now. I am also getting more anxious/excited with each passing week to meet her. I can't wait to see what she looks like and get to know her.
Yusaku and I have picked up the rest of the baby gear we "need," including a bassinet, swing, bouncy seat, breast bump, and stroller. This is great, because I feel more prepared knowing we have everything. However, we have quickly realized that we are running out of space. We have switched the couches that were in the sun room with the ones that were in the front room and have decided to get rid of our big red chair to give us a little more space. I know this is just a sign of things to come. We will just continue to accumulate more stuff, which means either our house will begin to overflow or we'll need to find other things to get rid of to make room. Eventually, we're going to need to move into a bigger house...especially when we're ready for Baby #2 someday. In the meantime, we can deal with the clutter because once Olivia arrives I'm sure we won't really care.
